It is battle tested, standardized, widely used, have open source servers and apps, end-to-end encryption (OMEMO), self-hostable and are low on ressources and federated / decentralized.

I use it with family and friends. Conversations and blabber.im on android and Gajim on Linux. There’s also apps for windows and Apple.

Curious if anyone here use it and why, why not?

EDIT: Doh. In these Lemmy times I forgot federated. Added.

    Yes Conversations is still a paid app on Play Store. The F-Droid version also doesn’t support Google cloud notifications so some message notifications will go missing occasionally. For Android there’s also Quickly which is a Conversations fork and aTalk which works OK but reminds me of 90s Windows software. It’s still quite usable though. Honestly Conversations is totally worth the money if only for the amount of effort gone into modernising the platform which also a testament to its extensibility.
